What is Hack the Future?

Hack the Future is an all-day party / hackathon for young adults to show you what it's like to be a hacker and see if it's for you. We won't tell you what to do. You'll be free to work on whatever you want. We'll try to keep you from getting stuck, and we'll give you a place to start (if you want one). This is a unique opportunity to learn about state-of-the-art software, hardware design, and engineering from mentors working for Bay Area startups as well as big companies like Google, Nvidia, Intel, Facebook and Microsoft.

Come back at 3:45PM to see the Lightning Talks (voluntary presentations on what hackers have been working on).

Come back by 5PM to check your child back out so they can go home.

Additional Notes to Parents

1. Help us create an environment of independent exploration

Parents are highly encouraged to drop participants off and let them explore independently, although you're welcome to check in on them if needed. Come back and check out your hackers promptly at 5PM; we'll need to clean up, and our volunteer mentors have to stay with your child until he or she is picked up.

2. Sign out when you leave with your hacker

Parents it is very important to remember to sign your child out of the event! Any names which we do not have parent signatures for check-out are given a follow up by HTF volunteers to verify that your child has been picked up, so please do our volunteers a favor and save them an unnecessary call.

3. Only get a ticket for the hacker

Parents, please don't reserve a ticket for yourself.
